Saxony's Infrastructure Minister Regina Kraushaar wants better connections between the Free State and long-distance rail services. The routes must also become more efficient, said the CDU politician on MDR-Aktuell. What is single-track today should urgently be double-track in the future. Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder (CDU) wants to present his long-term strategy for the struggling company today.
Schnieder had announced that his strategy would focus more on passengers. The title: "Agenda for satisfied customers on the rails." It is expected that the federal government, as the owner of Deutsche Bahn, will want to control the company more closely in future. The focus is on the infrastructure division InfraGo, which is to become more independent of the Group. It is also conceivable that the federal government will set specific targets for Deutsche Bahn regarding the punctuality rate it should achieve.
